Leonin and Perotin: Pioneers of Polyphony by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Léonin and Perotin were French composers of the 12th and 13th centuries who developed polyphony at the Notre Dame School in Paris. Léonin composed the first book of polyphonic organum, with works for two voices. Perotin was his successor and the first to compose four-voice organum, advancing the harmonic complexity of Western music. Both were pioneering figures in the development of notation and sacred polyphony.
